Date Me Like You Mean It by R.S. Grey

 

❤❤❤❤❤

Caution: Do not read while drinking/eating. Date Me Like You Mean It had me laughing so hard, Dr. Pepper came out my nose, and THAT burns!

With only being able to hear Maddie's side of the story for a majority of the book, you'll often wonder what Aiden is going through, but that's rectified soon enough!

I love the chemistry between Aiden and Maddie, not only in their friendship, but as their feelings grow towards one another. Even if you want to cry at some points, I promise this story is worth the slow burn.

I love a good friends to lovers romance, especially when they know everything about each other. This has all of that, plus the bonus of witty banter that only the best of friends can provide. Another wonderful RomCom from R.S. Grey and I'll be reading it again very soon!

SUMMARY:

I'm good at hiding my feelings.

Having to pretend I'm not in love with my best friend?

Pfft. That's child's play.

Here's how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. And, most importantly, I keep an arsenal of "personal massagers" in my bedside drawer. Wink.

Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn't hard to resist if you've been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend.

Date me like you mean it, I told him. Nudge nudge. C'mon, just go along with a little lie, help a girl out, and then we can all return to life as we know it.

Except he veered from the plan.

He crossed the line.

Flirting with me when no one else was around? Pinning me down and kissing me like that? Okay, how exactly is taking off my bra part of the ruse, Aiden?!

I'd ask him about it if I could, but well...things got ugly and we're not best friends anymore.

In fact, we're the exact opposite.

Now, I have to play nice even though I want to crush his heart in the palm of my hand.

Pretending not to love Aiden was the easy part.

Pretending not to hate him?

Well...I might need a little more practice.

Doctor Dearest by R.S. Grey

🩺🩺🩺🩺🩺

Doctor Dearest is just what the doctor ordered! This was a fast-paced RomCom that will have you cheering and rooting for the underdog.

I love a really good, brother's best friend romance, especially when it seems as though the feeling aren't returned from one of the main characters. 

Natalie is a tough nut to crack, but she's determined to be the best at her job and not let anything get in here, especially not the dreamy doctor that everyone in the hospital drools over.

Connor has stood by the sidelines while Natalie worked under him at the hospital, but now she's his equal, and with her brother out of town for several weeks, he's determined to finally make his move while she's right under his nose.

This was a romantic, fast-paced read that is the perfect fix if you're in a reading funk. Fun and quirky characters that'll charm the pants of anyone. I always know I'm in for a treat when I start a new R.S. Grey book, and this one is at the top of my favorites list!

Summary:

Natalie

Dr. Easton is part man, part myth.
He's a formidable surgeon. Highly respected in his field.
He also happens to be an ex-collegiate quarterback with a classically handsome face.
Are you catching on yet?
He's horrible.
Beautiful.
A walking Ralph Lauren ad.
He's also so off limits he should come with a warning label: This way lies heartache.

Not only is he an attending at the hospital where I'm training, he's also my brother's best friend. If you've lost count, that's two reasons why I plan on putting this ridiculous crush behind me. Besides, it's definitely not mutual.

Dr. Easton has never once paid me special attention. No tempting smirks. Not even one subtle innuendo. To him, I'm just another resident -- all but invisible.

Connor

For the last five years, I've mentored Natalie in the OR, stayed in line, and kept my hands to myself, but it's been agonizing.

Natalie in trouble in scrubs. A walking temptation I've been forced to ignore.

For so long, I've wanted her in silence. By the time fate finally gets around to throwing me a bone, my patience has run out.

Natalie's brother is leaving town, and he wants me to watch over her while he's gone.

He has no idea how I feel about her.
Neither does she.
But she will.

Haven't you heard good things come to those who wait, Natalie?
Well...I've done my waiting.

His Royal Highness by R.S. Grey

👑👑👑👑👑

His Royal Highness will have you believing in fairy tales again! This outrageously funny story, takes place behind the scenes of a theme park.

Derek Knightley is the guy every girl crushed on, but was older, and way out of our league. The moment he came back into the story, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop reading until I had a happy ending.

Whitney Atwood loves playing the Princess that little girls can look up to, but she's always had an unrequited crush on the owners grandson.

From the witty and snarky secondary characters, to minimal family drama from both sides, this book will have you laughing both happy and sad tears.

As a former Cast Member, I appreciate the authenticity in which the author clearly put into writing this story. It brought back some great memories, and painted a clear picture, enabling the fairy tale to truly come to life.

I highly recommend this book and will definitely be buying the audio version as well. I'd give it more than five stars if I could! A beautiful tale of following your dreams and listening to your heart.

💋 Romance

Synopsis:

I've spent eight years wishing I'd fall out of love with Derek Knightley. Blowing out birthday candles, chasing after shooting stars, making it rain spare change into mall fountains -- every time it's the same wish: forget about Derek.

But the day he walks back into my life, I realize there are two things time has yet to soften: my feeling for him and his chiseled jawline.

It's infuriating that my heart still races when he walks into a room. I refuse to fall prey to old unrequited love, so I decide the less I'm around him, the better. Avoidance is key.

Unfortunately, Derek isn't going to make it easy. As a teenager, I would have crawled on my hands and knees to attract his attention. Now I can't seem to escape it.

I'm not sure why he's bothering. He's not just out of my league -- he's out of my tax bracket. As the sole heir to the Knightley Company, he's as close to American royalty as you can get. As for me, I'm just a part-time princess at Knightley's flagship magical theme park.

I spend my days playing make-believe, but Derek has no use for fairytales. His unwavering confidence makes it clear he thinks I'll surrender in the end.

He's just biding his time. Making me sweat.

His Royal Highness always gets what he wants. And he wants me.

Make Me Bad by R.S. Grey

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

There's nothing I love to read about more than a misunderstood bad boy and this book delivers all that's promised! The chemistry between Ben Rosenberg and Madison Hart is undeniable, especially after he comes to her rescue during an attack.

Madison is the epitome of innocence, from being the local librarian, a virgin and the daughter of the police chief, she's ready to start living her life and Ben is just the person to ask for help with that.

R.S. Grey always blows me away with her characters, reeling you in until you feel like you're living vicariously in the story too. A delightful RomCom that will leave you with a smile on your face and hope in your heart!
